The American middle class is being kept alive with cheap Chinese goods. The entire US economy is based on consumer spending so when prices go up it will hurt.

That is a horrible justification for continuing to outsource American middle class jobs to China.

Cheap trinkets are not worth the loss of jobs. That idea is an economy-killer and is the long-term death of the nation.
